English star Harry Kane spoke at the press conference before the match against Spain in the UEFA Nations League A League.
Asked about his first Ballon d'Or candidacy before the match against Spain, national team captain Harry Kane answered the question "Whether this is the year he comes closest to the award?", "The best chance for now, yes. Will it be the same in the future, we will have to wait and see, but yes, I think it is my best chance in my career so far, there is no doubt about it. Last season was undoubtedly my best year from a personal perspective. I think I have been quite clear. But it was also my best year in terms of trophies and performances for the team. So yes, "Of course it would be great to win. I know there's been a lot of talk about it and I'm sure it will be talked about for the next month until it's announced. That's part of it. I would be extremely proud to win." he replied.
Stating that Spain's style of play has become a culture for them, Kane said, "They grow up playing in a certain style, in a certain way, from the ages of 5, 6, 7 until they become professionals. This is not exactly the case in England. This does not mean that we cannot hold the ball, play under pressure, or that we do not have great technical players who can do all these things. But at the same time, we have many strengths that they do not have. These are our physicality, our pace, our strength. I talked a little before the World Cup and everyone said how much they are for England physically." "He was talking about it being tough, but I actually said it was one of our biggest strengths. The way we press, our ability to go into battle again and again and win, and in a way I think you'll see that version of us tomorrow." he said.
When asked about contract renewal talks with Bayern Munich, Kane said: "The talks are going well. I have been very open and honest about this, we are still in talks and I think it is moving in the right direction. Both parties are quite comfortable about it, because I think everyone can see that I am happy there. In this camp, of course, I am trying to be here, to concentrate with England. These contract negotiations can wait a little while and let the team behind me talk and deal with these issues." he said.
Star football player: "How did you leave the World Cup and the summer season behind? How do you get this out of your mind?" On the question, he said, "It's not easy to get over it, but you don't have a choice. This may not be something that is talked about much, but when you are together in that bubble, in that environment for 7 weeks, it's the same routine, the highest pressure, the biggest matches. And then suddenly you are eliminated and suddenly you almost come back to reality. Going home and being a husband, being a father. You are away from your family for a long time. This takes away some of the disappointment you experience. Of course, it still remains there, but you learn to return to normal life and be with your children. The most important things." So they help you get through it, but it also takes months, a long time, to fully get over it.” he said.
